Chapter 786: Chapter 0787: Seafood Allergy [Second Update]

Ye Qiu picked up Liu Daqing and then drove back towards Jiangnan.

First, they returned to the neighborhood where Liu Daqing lived. After dropping off Liu Daqing’s car, Ye Qiu drove away from there again. Since it was lunchtime, Ye Qiu decided to take the three of them out for a meal.

Earlier, Ye Qiu had invited Liu Daqing to come along, but Liu Daqing mentioned that Zhang Yuehong had already prepared food at home. So, the four of them went out together instead.

"What do you guys feel like eating?"

Ye Qiu asked.

"Anything works for us."

Li Shen replied.

"I’ll go with your suggestion."

Liu Lingxiu said as usual.

"Then let’s go for a buffet."

Hearing this, Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming were thrilled, especially Zhu Zhiming, the chubby one, who was a fan of buffets.

Ye Qiu drove them to a seafood buffet restaurant.

When they arrived downstairs at the restaurant and went upstairs, Ye Qiu was surprised to see a large crowd. Perhaps it was because school was starting tomorrow, and many parents had brought their children out.

The seafood buffet here cost 398 yuan per person, making it a relatively upscale choice. After purchasing four meal tickets, the group went inside and washed their hands. When Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu took their seats, Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming rushed off to grab their favorite seafood.

King crab, lobster, salmon, Arctic clam, abalone, and so on.

As the two hurried off, Ye Qiu told Liu Lingxiu to stay seated while he went to grab food for her.

Unexpectedly, as he reached the counter with the wine, the familiar scent of perfume wafted over. Lifting his head, Ye Qiu saw none other than the widow, Boss Xia.

Xia Jing was just as surprised to encounter Ye Qiu here.

She had come with a client and her secretary, Xiaofen, for a meal. Seeing Ye Qiu, Xia Jing hesitated for a moment, intending to greet him. However, Ye Qiu poured two glasses of red wine and departed without acknowledging her.

Looking at Ye Qiu’s retreating figure, Xia Jing couldn’t help but wonder if she had somehow offended him.

After all, Ye Qiu had saved her twice now.

Once during a bank robbery, and another time when she had been distressed over her breast cancer diagnosis, only for Ye Qiu to cure her effortlessly in the end.

Though the treatment had cost her five million yuan, she thought it was worth every penny.

In her eyes, Ye Qiu seemed omnipotent, capable of anything. She had even wanted to befriend this younger man, but Ye Qiu always treated her coldly.

Perhaps it was her own fault.

Sighing softly, Xia Jing picked up her glass of red wine and headed back to her seat. On her way, she spotted Ye Qiu sitting with a young girl.

"Brother Qiu, there’s so much good food here. What do you want?"

Li Shen asked excitedly.

This was his first time dining at a buffet like this. Although Ye Qiu had previously taken him and Zhu Zhiming to Zhang Wei’s father’s buffet restaurant, it paled in comparison.

"Just go ahead. I’ll get my own food later."

Ye Qiu replied.

The charm of a buffet lies in its variety and the freedom to eat whatever you want.

And no one would stop you.

Ye Qiu casually went to grab some seafood.

Having tasted countless delicacies at Count Charley’s in France and in Jinling, Ye Qiu was no longer as astonished as when he had first arrived in this world.

The meal lasted for about two hours. Technically, an hour was enough to feel full, but Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming were reluctant to leave and insisted on staying for the full duration since they had paid for it.

Meanwhile, sitting at another table was Xia Jing, accompanied by her secretary Xiaofen and a client—a middle-aged man in a suit.

This middle-aged businessman didn’t eat much. Instead, he frequently glanced at Xia Jing sitting across from him.

He had heard that Xia Jing was a formidable businesswoman, but the rumors that she had "cursed" three husbands to death left him astonished.

Still, he figured that as long as he didn’t marry her and simply had some fun, it shouldn’t pose any problems.

"Boss Xia, what are you looking at?"

The middle-aged businessman noticed Xia Jing gazing off into the distance.

Naturally, she was looking at Ye Qiu.

"Oh, nothing. Just a friend over there."

Xia Jing replied.

"Do you want to go say hi?"

"No need."

Earlier, Xia Jing had wanted to greet Ye Qiu but had been met with indifference. Thus, she decided against trying again, afraid he’d react the same way.

The middle-aged man was perplexed when he realized Xia Jing kept glancing at the plainly dressed young man. Could this young man actually be the friend Xia Jing was referring to?

Based on his attire, it didn’t seem like he could afford dining at a place like this.

Zhu Zhiming and Li Shen ate plenty, especially the king crab and abalone. They indulged in portions that would typically cost two or three thousand yuan each outside. Although Zhu Zhiming’s family was middle-class, it wasn’t the kind of lifestyle where such food was commonplace.

After the two had had their fill, and with thirty minutes left before the dining duration ended, Ye Qiu began preparing to leave.

Suddenly, a teenage girl in a nearby area let out a horrifying scream.

She’d been eating well moments ago, but now she felt dizzy, her heart raced, her chest tightened, her breathing grew rapid, her lips and limbs went numb, and she even started vomiting.

With a single scream, she collapsed, frightening the surrounding diners and the busy waitstaff. Was the food here unsafe?

The waitstaff and manager hurried over. Upon seeing the girl’s state, they instantly realized it must be a severe case of seafood allergy.

Some people are prone to seafood allergies and cannot eat seafood. Allergic reactions might include symptoms like itching, rashes, and, in severe cases, even death.

As Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu turned their gaze toward the commotion, they saw the girl in the floral dress collapse and vomit the seafood she had just eaten. Her relative, who had brought her to the buffet, went into panic mode. Liu Lingxiu urged, "Ye Qiu, aren’t you going to help?"

It was obvious to Ye Qiu that the girl was experiencing a severe allergic reaction.

However, he hadn’t anticipated it would escalate to this extent.

As the girl’s relative held her, others called an ambulance. Even Xia Jing, her secretary Xiaofen, and the important client turned to look.

With Liu Lingxiu tugging at him, Ye Qiu had no choice but to step forward.

Normally, Ye Qiu preferred not to involve himself in unnecessary situations, even though solving them was hardly a challenge for him.
